How to do this?

[dulcimergirl]

Here's the deal, my sister wants to fly into Charleston SC for our cruise, where I will meet her at the airport. No she's not flying same day.. lol then after the cruise she's riding back to Knoxville Tn to spend a few days with me. Now I'm looking for flights without having to book one ways.

Anybody have any helpful advice? I'm at a loss here..

Sounds like she is flying one way so that appears to be the way to book. Unless you book a round trip and she only uses half of it which hardly makes sense.

One way would be the only way to do it unless you use the same airport.

Is she flying into Charleston and out of your hometown? Because then you could just book a multicity fare. It's an option on the carrier's websites along with one way and round trip.

What if she flew in and out of the same airport, say, Charlotte? I know it's still a hike but it would be somewhat half way.

You can always book open jaw tickets . Basically the same as booking two one way tickets.

You can price it both ways to see which way works best.

Sometimes the one ways come out OK.

Then check the multi city option on whatever airline flies from both the cities you want to use.

You can use Google flights to see and just input the dates and the cities for each flight to see what comes up.

You can also go to the airport for each of those cities to see which airlines fly to both of them and then go to those airline sites to price the flights. It takes a little time but it is not difficult.

The people on the Cruise Air board seem to love these types of puzzles. Give them all the necessary info.

I think that Southwest has one way fares that are the same as one leg of a round trip. I'm not sure if it is available to/from all airports involved, but I know they fly to Louisville KY.

Booking 2 one way fares (on different airlines) can sometimes result in a lower overall fare (and better schedule) than a round trip fare on a single airline. If you aren't in a real hurry, then investigate all your possibilities.

 

But the poster above is correct...the cruise air board is a great reference.

she's riding back to Knoxville Tn.

 

I have no advice but just saw you were from Knoxville and I'm from Kingsport and wanted to say hi! Lol
